Thinking about it I don't think Detroit is that bad after all, Calderon, Knight, X player, Monroe and Drummond? no bad, who are they going to try to get next year to fill the small forward position by the way?

I'd target josh smith, re sign Calderon and call it a day. Smith and Drummond compensates for a small knight/calderon backcourt duo, and Calderon would have a field day with offensive targets

It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.

Watching the end of the Grizzlies game to check out Tayshaun Prince. They were up 6 with 3 minutes to go, and Prince hit 2 key jumpers to help put the game away. Good for him. I'll be rooting for Memphis.

Happy for Prince he looks rejuvenated out there and cant say I blame him. He is the type of player that does no good for a rebuilding team but man is he a good glue guy. I liked the trade a lot more for the Grizz when I found out it was Prince not Cory Maggete going back.

trade made sense for 2 of the teams in the trade and if the Raps can play like they did tonight maybe it was a good trade all around. But I kind of still hate it for them they are almost in the LT and have a mediocre team IMO and will stay mediocre for a while.

I think is possible that Rudy Gay looks a lot more like a superstar in Toronto, he is going to get all the touches he wants just like Harden in Houston, he was never going to be an star in Memphis with Zbo and Gasol.

The Lakers are playing much better with sharing the ball. But they have a tendency to stand around and watch Kobe and then fall in love with the open 3 point shots he gets them. (As opposed to rolling to the basket..or..moving without the ball at all...)

Chicago hardly has any players, but I don't understand what Atlanta is trying to do... they're not running, just fiddling around, walking the ball up, sloppy defense too. I can understand why people at times just don't like the Josh Smith plays, he doesn't seem focused at all. If Atlanta would just put they're foot on the gas, they'd be up by 15, the Bulls are outworking them, even though they're running on fumes. Watching them play, for the life of it, I cannot understand they beat us that often. (yeah yeah, I know, athletic team, good matchups blabla)
